Down And Out

I was raised in Jersey
I've been through every wear
even the things that go bump in the night
don't really make me scare
I bought my house in Bloomfield
away from the street wares
and now it seems I'm gonna lose
everything that cares
the home was right for mama
the garden that she grew
I had to make this right for her
I can't tell if she knew
now that she's old and can't move along
I do what I can for her game
it's only by the grace of God
that I haven't gone insane
my old man's in a nursing home
Alzheimer got his tune
sometimes I wonder if I'm better off
locked away in a tomb
it's crazy how we fall apart
when life just hits a vain
it makes one want to pack it in
and go away in shame
this month my mom she broke her wrist
my pop took a fall and hasn't been the same
I came home from work one day
and found my little Abby taking her last breath
one week later my Sheena also passed
maybe it's because of me
around me things don't last
I voted for the man to be
but nothings really cashed
I lost my job
I lost my dogs
I lost my car
I'll lose my home
I'll lose my business
sometime soon I'll lose my mom and dad
my truck is on it's last stroke
I'm flat broke
with no reason to cope
having lost all the hope
maybe someday with luck
you'll find me
without the things I worked hard to have
walking the streets very lonely and smashed
